Taper Notes:
View NotesButthole Surfers The New Ritz (old Studio 54) New York, NY 8 April 1989 Lineage: Sony WM-W800 Walkman w/ 1 point stereo plugin mic > lost master > Maxell UDS II 1:1 dub (1st gen AUD) JVC TD-W707 > Sound Studio 2.2.4/Griffin iMic/G4 1 GHz OS X 10.3.9 > AIFF Normalized to 99% > xACT 1.55 FLAC (lvl 8) TRT: 54:18 Also included are scans of my ticket stub and the j-card tape insert. The fancy lettering of the band's name was done by me, the song titles are in my friend's handwriting. Backstory: I got thrown out of the concert just before the Surfers took the stage, due to being caught by security with a fatty in my hand. Eventually snuck back in through an open exit door and began taping. This was accomplished because the security guards were mesmerized by the movies behind the band, and the hypnotic musical assault on the senses. This 1st gen tape was loaned by my great friend Steve. My master has been gone for many years, and I wasn't even sure I'd get this show again. It's good that I was such a generous sharer of shows back in my tape-trading days. Additional comments: "Aside from the obvious historical document, this show has some other goodies: The first, and only known performances of Bong Song (as 'Bonghit' on the setlist), and Helicopter with Teresa on drums. Helicopter and the ensuing mayhem stretches to over 18 minutes, during which Gibby takes the drums, and Teresa dives topless into the crowd... the ending refrain of the Ronette's Baby, I Love You is a touching dedication to Teresa that will leave ya with a tear..." - Jason Ramke/Notsaved
